“Coming into the stadium seeing it packed like that, I mean it was packed for the heats never mind the final and you really can thrive off that crowd. This was the first time in my life that I wasn’t nervous, I wasn’t nervous last night, I wasn’t nervous today and I think I was just so amped up and excited and grateful for the opportunity to be here I am just really happy with how it all played out.”
